Career
After graduating from the College of William & Mary where he studied English and also was a member of Kappa Alpha Order, Lawrence wrote for hit shows including Friends, Boy Meets World, and The Nanny and produced the animated series Clone High. He also served as the creator of the sitcom Spin City and Scrubs. He is now currently the co-creator, executive producer, writer and director of TBS's current comedy Cougar Town. He is also one of the producers of the rejected television pilot Nobody's Watching. In 2006-07 he was prepping the film Fletch Won (which is a prequel to the previous Fletch films), but after Scrubs star Zach Braff dropped out, Lawrence dropped out as well.
Lawrence has a small role playing himself in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie in a scene with Miss Piggy along with several members of the Scrubs cast.
Lawrence has appeared in four episodes of Scrubs. He first appeared as an extra in the episode "My Missed Perception" at the end as one of the staff. Then in season 6 as another extra in the coffee shop in "Their Story", then as an offbeat justice of the peace in "My Soul On Fire (Part 2)". His final appearance comes at the end of "My Finale" as the janitor outside Sacred Heart that tears down the "Goodbye J.D." sign as J.D. is leaving.
